Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. Ahpra register record for Dr Keith Louis Anthony Mutimer (MED0001051451): registration status Registered, specialist registration Surgery / Plastic surgery — the specialty the practice advertises. [ahpra] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by the licence number the clinic itself publishes. Matched by registration number MED0001051451 in the Ahpra Register of practitioners; one direct match, registration status Registered, first registered 08/12/1977. [ahpra] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Found with a spelling discrepancy; or the location is registered under the name of the host facility at the same address (a practice inside a hospital or a centre); or the value comes from a mirror or from a directory that shows no status — the profile names the record holder verbatim. The practice names Cabrini Brighton Hospital, Holmesglen Private Hospital and Linacre Private Hospital as the venues where its patients have surgery; all three are matched by name in the Victorian register of private hospitals. That workbook publishes names only (its address columns are misaligned), so the match is by name without an address confirmation. [site-visit] [vic-ph] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Only a brand, without a legal form and without a responsible person. Whatever we find ourselves is shown on the profile as a fact and does not raise this cell. Legal entity matched: the clinic's trading name is the registered business name of the matched company, at the matched postcode. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the clinic publishes neither the number nor the legal entity (audit not_published, entity name not found on the clinic pages; the entity was found by us — shown as a fact)] [abr] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Postnominal qualifications (FRACS) stated for each surgeon; no registration numbers published on the clinic's own site, which instead directs patients to the specialist society's website. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 17 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-20 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No consent, risk, aftercare, revision or complaint-route content identified on the pages reviewed. [site] |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.
Holds
No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.
| Identifiable: live public surface + working in-country contact | verified yes [site] |
|---|---|
| Provides the service itself (not an aggregator, booking site or tour packager) | verified yes [site] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site] |
Who is responsible
Named physicians and the legal entity, as published and as matched in the registers. A missing number is a statement about disclosure, not about licensing.

Clinic focus: specialist (no focus adjustment) [site]
Secondary findings (not scored)
What a professional society, an international directory, a hospital page or another jurisdiction’s register says, shown for information where the country’s own register is closed. These facts enter neither the score nor the coverage.
- M5 · Legal-entity traceability SECCompany register entry found for Garfin Pty Ltd (ABN 14 613 397 087 / ACN 613 397 087); the clinic's own surface names neither the entity nor the number.[abr]
What we could not verify
- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
